[akkgit]

I am looking to mask some of the fields in request, response for not to store in logs such as PII, In this scenario how to customize it ? and also the log it is going to save using data providers doesnt block the main thread correct(is it kind of fire and forget) ?

Could you please provide further details about the package extensions and the framework you're utilizing?

And how and where do you intend to store the audit logs?

I assume you're using ASP.NET Core with Audit.WebApi.Core extension and you want a DataProvider that operates in a fire-and-forget manner, but it will be easier to help if you provide enough information.

Regarding the fire-and-forget mechanism, the data provider's save operation is intentionally blocking by design. However, you can easily implement a custom data provider by inheriting from the data provider of your choice and overriding the Insert/Replace methods to make fire-and-forget calls to the base methods.

This type of data provider is not included in the library because there are numerous ways to implement it, and personally, I believe it's generally a poor practice.

You also have the option to use an in-memory data provider to delegate data storage operations to a separate thread.

• In-Memory Blocking Collection: Store the audit events in a BlockingCollection that can be accessed by different threads to consume the events
• In-Memory Channel: Store the audit events in a Channel (from System.Threading.Channels) that can be accessed to consume the events
